Rings can have a redemptive--and almost magical--impact on your long-term strength training… Why? Because ring work replicates natural, multi-dimensional, functional, self-correcting movement. Rings reduce the destructive stress on the joints often caused by traditional weight lifting--with its repetitive, forced, linear “grinding of the gears”. With ring work, the adaptive, strength-enhancing stress goes to the muscles--where it belongs… The rings are strength saviors for the over-forties—and in many cases represent a wiser, safer choice for younger athletes seeking to push their physical capabilities to ever-greater heights. The forgiving, user-friendly rings have the power to: Restore former strength lost to joint pain Rekindle your passion for intense, results-producing exercise Reengineer your body into a sleeker, tougher vehicle that continues to get stronger and stronger and stronger--pain-free Reverse the damage and imbalance wrought by an over-reliance on machine-based exercise Release you from the strength plateaus in your training--by introducing an infinite variability of adaptive challenge into your workouts Reclaim your full physical capabilities--and then help you exceed those capabilities Rejuvenate your system--through a newfound freedom from pain and a newfound ease of movement And the glory of it is that--in his inspirational Rings of Power--Mike Gillette gives you a super-simple yet immensely powerful plan to immediately transform yourself physically with rings alone. Follow Gillette’s clear-cut guide--and your severely-enhanced athletic capability is a foregone conclusion… "I wish I had Mike Gillette’s book when I started with rings. The crystal clear instruction on techniques in this book would have saved me countless hours of often-fruitless experimentation. This is a fantastic book for all ages, but absolutely essential for the aging athlete.”--DR. CHRIS HARDY, author of Strong Medicine
